There must be a* few * games that ended with one team having 2 points, from just a safety. But how about 4 points, from 2 safeties?
Last time in NCAA Division 1A (unless it happened this year):
10/23/2004 - Penn St. defeated Iowa 6-4.
From the NFL:

It’d have to be one of the 17 from the group tied for second to have an NFL four-pointer.
After checking all of the above NFL games at http://www.pro-football-reference.com/, none of those games had a team with a score of 4. So, it looks like it has never happened in the NFL.
The score is right, but the Iowa had 6 and Penn State 4.
Also in the very early days of football (1880s) a touchdown was worth 4 points, so there are a lot of old college games where a team just had four points. A touchdown went up to 5 points in 1898.
In 1904, a field goal dropped from five points to four and then down to three in 1909. In 1912 a touchdown was upped to six points.
:smack: D’oh.
Miami (Fla) beat the University of Florida 31 to 4 in 1987. IIRC, both safeties came when Miami snaps went over the head of their punter, and out of the end zone.
